Hyland Software Increases ECM Integrations with Microsoft Office 2007 and Dynamics - Integrations Continue the Trend of Offering People-Ready Software In a Microsoft-Centric Platform

Cleveland, OH – July 9, 2007 – Hyland Software Inc. announces the immediate availability of enhanced Microsoft Dynamics integrations in its advanced enterprise content management (ECM) software suite, OnBase. These latest enhancements bolster Hyland’s existing Microsoft integrations for managing the storage and retrieval of any electronic files by department or across the enterprise.

“We know people are frustrated by the lack of integration between their software solutions. Constantly having to switch between multiple programs is a waste of time and often this solution is worse than the original problem,” said Hyland COO, Bill Priemer. “We integrate with Microsoft’s products in a way that the user can stay in one familiar program and receive all the benefits of both.  Users get all the functionality of Microsoft Dynamics and don’t have to leave the OnBase environment and vice versa.”
“The extensiveness and availability of the ECM integrations with our product line are just some of the reasons we have chosen to work so close with Hyland,” said Jamie Newcomer, Microsoft ISV Account Manager. “We have many projects in the pipeline for 2007 and the release of their latest software will facilitate our joint activities.”

Hyland’s Integration for Microsoft Dynamics uses OnBase Application Enabler to, within minutes, create custom integrations that perfectly fit each application and enable the full range of OnBase features (security, workflow, collaboration, etc.). The OnBase Application Enabler works with all Microsoft Dynamics products such as AX, CRM, GP, NAV and SL.
